Gild Hall is far hipper than your average Wall Street business hotel. Friendly service, a hunting lodge-like lobby, and 126 attractively designed rooms with 55-inch flat-screen TVs, Sferra linens, and D.S. & Durga bath products make this a top choice for stylish financiers. But there’s not much after-dark action in the Financial District. Another hip business hotel worth considering is the Andaz Wall Street, which features a striking Rockwell Group design and freebies like lobby snacks, barista coffee, and minibar items.

The 81-room Hampton Inn Manhattan / Downtown - Financial District is a solid mid-range hotel that's no-frills in terms of amenities, but still feels fresh from its 2014 opening. The lobby merges with the breakfast room, where a free breakfast buffet is served each morning with hot and cold options, including a waffle station. There's also a business nook with two computers and a tiny gym, with only three pieces of cardio equipment and free weights, but that's about it. Guest rooms are tasteful and contemporary, with walk-in showers, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers, but mini-fridges aren't standard and views are nothing to write home about. Travelers looking for a stay with more features can consider the larger DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel New York City - Financial District.

The upscale 132-room Q&A Residential Hotel is housed in 70 Pine -- an Art Deco skyscraper and a New York landmark -- in lower Manhattan's Financial District. It's within walking distance of Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange, as well as the 9/11 Memorial. However, those looking for nightlife won’t find it at this hotel -- or in this neighborhood. The real draw here are the apartments, which are sharp, modern, and minimalist -- they're also huge by New York standards. Each includes a full kitchen and mod-cons like smart TVs and free Wi-Fi. Unsurprisingly, the hotel draws plenty of long-stay guests. Travelers set on the Financial District might also consider the stylish Gild Hall, though it can’t complete with the Q&A’s iconic status.

Located in the Financial District immediately next to the construction going on at Ground Zero, this Marriott is mostly a place for business travelers to rest their heads. But the downtown location has more going for it than many visitors realize, including proximity to the underrated Hudson River Greenway. The clean, and spacious rooms, many with views of New York Harbor, make this hotel a decent alternative to the nearby Millenium Hilton (if only because there's less construction noise). This Marriott is also a good alternative to its Midtown sister, especially for visitors looking for easy access to (and views of) New York's revitalized waterfront.

When it opened in 2010, this W hotel brought the suit-focused Financial District with a dose of cool. It's a sleek hotel, and its biggest assets are its stylish lobby lounge (with huge wrap-around terrace) and its proximity to Ground Zero (which means perfect views of the Freedom Tower). Other features include a nice fitness center (with great views), a small business center, meeting rooms, and a restaurant by the well-regarded BLT chain. Many tourists would prefer to be in a hipper, quainter, or more central neighborhood, but the hotel is close to Wall Street, Trinity Church, Battery Park, the ferry to the Statue of Liberty, and of course the 9/11 Memorial. Travelers who like the idea of a hip hotel in the Financial District can also consider Gild Hall, about a 10-minute walk to the east.

The hotel's location across the street from One World Trade Center -- for many years a noisy and emotional construction site -- is now the hotel’s best feature. Guests can walk not only to the September 11 Memorial, but also to Wall Street and South Street Seaport. This upscale business-oriented hotel is a big name and also a big property (it rises 55 floors), and the 569 modern rooms and suites have large windows to capitalize on the spectacular city views. Just note that room service and Wi-Fi fees add up fast; it's also worth considering other upscale hotels in the neighborhood, such as Gild Hall and Andaz Wall Street.

The four-and-a-half-pearl Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown opened in 2016 with a sleek, business-like design to match its location. It's within a 10-minute walk of the One World Observatory, Stock Exchange, and multiple subway lines, but uptown sights like Central Park are a 30-minute drive away. All of the 189 rooms and suites are large (starting at 400 square feet), and have the expected high-end amenities like espresso machines, deep tubs, and rainfall showers, but decor is a bit staid. Wellness amenities are extensive, including a full spa, indoor lap pool, and modern gym. The Wolfgang Puck steakhouse, with a bar and 24-hour room service, take care of sustenance. Overall, this is a good pick for those that are loyal to the brand, but it's worth considering The Beekman, A Thompson Hotel nearby for more historic personality.

Occupying a historic 19-century building, The Beekman is a stunning luxury property that opened in August 2016 and artfully blends antique style with modern comfort. The 287-room property is located in the Financial District in downtown Manhattan, a five-minute walk from multiple subway lines. The stylish rooms and suites are outfitted with all the expected trappings, including quirky artwork, sleek marble bathrooms, and free Wi-Fi. Two fine-dining restaurants, including one by celebrity chef Tom Colicchio, are on-site, but the real standout is the large living-room-like bar, which sits under the striking atrium and is popular with the local after-work crowd. This is easily one of the top properties in NYC, though occasional neighborhood construction noise and no full spa are downsides. If a spa is important, check out the The Ritz-Carlton New York Battery Park.

Made up of 54 modern, comfortable, guest rooms, Eurostars brings a little style to a typical business hotel in Lower Manhattan, five blocks from the NYSE. But for the price, the hotel doesn't offer much -- consider instead Gild Hall (much swankier); the Millenium Hilton (on-site pool); or the New York Marriott Downtown (just as comfortable, but often cheaper).
